Quick Cooking – Microwave Dhokla

That’s what a Microwave is there for – to make life easier. I am always looking for ways to cut out the cooking time (and cooking itself, some days), and my MW is the partner in this crime. Without the MW, I would have shut down the kitchen itself long back.

When I bought the MW, we received Nita Mehta’s IFB Microwave Cookbook as a compliment. The book sits on top of the Microwave all the time. I tried the Khaman Dhokla recipe from there. The dhokla was soft, nice, and absolutely easy to make. I wish I had used a larger vessel, though.

hai..
we bought a new ifb mw 20sc2.we recieved only the nita mehta regional book of ifb which consists of 6 andhra dishes.can you please tell me which type of book we will get with mw.and how many pages it contain?

Sorry for the late response. I have been stuck with a slow net connection for sometime now :(

I am not sure what went wrong here, but generally for MW recipes, it is advised to wait for a little bit of time (about 4-5 min standing time) before you take out the dish. Its kind of a passive cooking time.

Also, the bottom of the MW dish need to be flat, so that the thickness of dhokla is the same throughout.

Hi dear the dhokla looks superb and so perfectly done. I want to try it but I have a normal microwave oven not a conventional so is it possible to do it and should I go for instant cook in microwave for 6 minutes. Glad to follow you do visit my spce in ur free time.

Thanks for trying the recipe and I am glad that it turned out good. Reg the pink color, it was a happy error :D. The color went off when the syrup was soaked in. My guess is that I may have overcooked the dhokla by a couple of minutes.
